Ben Gomori: Trax On Da Trax Tour

About event

Get admission at Gozo Listening Bar venue! London-based DJ, producer and label owner, Ben Gomori, has announced an eco-focused tour of Europe by train from October 15 - November 2, aiming to provoke conversation around the climate crisis, slow touring and burnout in the dance music industry. The 2.5-week tour takes in clubs, hi-fi listening bars, radio stations, record shops and live streams in Belgium, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Hungary and the Czech Republic, and will see Ben take part in a discussion around the subject matter at his first date at newly opened Antwerp vinyl bar, Antwerp. “I’ve felt guilt around flying for a long time” says Gomori.
”It seems so ridiculous to fly somewhere to DJ for a couple of hours — particularly when you’re of my stature and the overwhelming majority of people who end up seeing you play don’t even know how you are. I wanted to find a way to make playing abroad less terrible for the environment, and to make it a more efficient process. And to enjoy the travel part of it!” He’ll also be recording mixes live on some of the train journeys for his YouTube channel, and will be streaming his sets from selected locations via Mixcloud LIVE. He’s also running a fundraiser for music industry climate charity, Earth.Percent, with 100% of the donations going to them.
